Triton Pilot: Commander Kwas, we got something weird going on up here.
Kwas: What is it, Triton-One?
Triton Pilot: Well, sir, there were a couple Eeks headed for the sub when they all of a sudden just . . . collapsed, sir.
Kwas: They unconscious, Triton-One?
Triton Pilot: Looks it, sir - though they might just be playin' possum. Figured I'd best give you a heads-up, whatever the case.
Kwas: Thanks, Triton-One. Much appreciated.
